There was nothing coming from the hillside with the sputs like Sput D and Sputnik. But there was a slight whisp of steam coming from the location of East Triplet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Afterwards I went to look around Geyser Hill, where there were still a lot more frozen runoff channels, even at 10:00. At around 11:40, I decided I wanted to get over to Grand, and left. I was at the bridge when the \"water in the Indicator\" call came out. So I reversed and watched the eruption. After a morning with a consistent wind direction, it shifted three minutes into the eruption so that the boardwalk got a soaking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A quick reconfigure at the cabin, and it was out to Grand. Arrived to find Turban in what was probably a Delay Interval, based on the Turban eruption duration and the behavior during the following interval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Six Turban eruptions later, late in a West Triplet eruption, we got our second Turban Delay eruption. Four more Turban eruptions and we got a third Delay. Grand finally erupted two more Turban intervals later, on an interval of sixteen minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Grand started with a large boop, and there were two bursts. West Triplet followed the Grand eruption, and there was a report of Rift erupting with a 11 hour interval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">2026-May-19 : 16:30:02 D4\/D2\/G2Q\n\n 16:29:58\tBoop\t-0m04s\n 16:30:02\tB1\t--- d=10m57s\n 16:32:54\tVent\t2m52s\n 16:39:11\tP1\t9m09s\n 15:39:53\tB2\t0m42s\n 15:40:59\tP2\t1m06s\n 15:41:36\tV&amp;T Quit\n\t\t\t\t     \t\u03a3D=10m15s\n\n \t* * * * *\n 12:30:30\t\t\td=04m43s \t\n 12:48:21\tInt: 17m51s\td=03m24s \t\n 13:07:31\tInt: 19m10s\td=03m46s \t\n 13:25:18\tInt: 17m47s\td=03m13s \t\n 13:44:47\tInt: 19m29s\td=03m11s \t\n 14:03:23\tInt: 18m36s\td=03m38s \t\n 14:18:22\tWest Triplet\n 14:34:42\tInt: 31m19s\td=04m56s  D0\t\n 14:52:52\tInt: 18m10s\td=02m49s  D1\t\n 15:08:47\tInt: 15m55s\td=03m38s  D2\t\n 15:25:38\tInt: 16m51s\td=03m11s  D3\n 15:56:19\tInt: 30m41s\td=4m22s\t  D4\/D0\n 16:14:18\tInt: 17m59s\td=3m23s   D4\/D1\n \t\t     Turban: 15m44s<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Following Grand we only had to wait a few minutes to have an eruption of Uncertain, and then it was time to get out of the wind and cold.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After last night, Grand erupted at dawn with a reasonable interval.
